The next day, the domineering CEO’s life remained simple, unadorned, and down-to-earth.
On the way to work, Chi Yu received 2 battery points, exchangeable for 0.2 minutes of human form time.
Shen Yanzhi was busy with work in the morning, then went on a business trip to a neighboring city in the afternoon to meet with a business partner. He was even invited to a teahouse for tea. Chi Yu remained tucked in his pocket the entire time. By the time they returned to Jing City, Chi Yu checked her account and was pleasantly surprised to find she had collected 23 battery points. Combined with the original 2 in storage, the total was 25 battery points—exchangeable for 2.5 minutes of human form time.
Like a little hoarding squirrel, Chi Yu carefully collected these fragments of life time, gazing at them over and over again.
Besides this pleasant surprise, Chi Yu also discovered Shen Yanzhi’s phone lock screen password!
Earlier in the day, perhaps due to the angle, Shen Yanzhi’s facial recognition failed, and he casually entered a six-digit lock screen password.
The moment he input it, the password instantly popped into Chi Yu’s mind.
Chi Yu secretly memorized it.
When Shen Yanzhi placed his phone in his pocket, Chi Yu attempted to wake the screen herself and enter the lock screen password. To her surprise, it successfully unlocked!
This meant that from now on, she wouldn’t need to wait for Shen Yanzhi—she could unlock the phone herself!
However, since they were outside and the phone could be taken out by Shen Yanzhi at any moment, Chi Yu only tried it once before locking the screen again.
It wasn’t until deep in the night, when Shen Yanzhi was sound asleep in bed, that Chi Yu quietly sprang into action.
The quiet bedroom was pitch dark.
Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table lit up on its own.
A string of digits was automatically entered, and the phone screen unlocked silently.
Chi Yu felt somewhat guilty. She knew it was wrong to secretly move Shen Yanzhi’s phone, but she had no other choice.
Chi Yu opened the QQ browser.
Quickly typing in “[July 3rd Shuiqing Woman Falling into the Sea],” she hit search. Shen Yanzhi’s phone automatically connected to the wifi, and with its fast internet speed, search results popped up in no time.
The first result was an article published by a media outlet two days ago. Chi Yu’s heart trembled as she clicked on it.
Red Star Network: On July 3rd, Jing City time, police received a report from the public claiming that someone had fallen into the sea and gone missing… It is reported that Xiao Mei (pseudonym) and Xiao Fu (pseudonym) both grew up in an orphanage. Xiao Fu, who fell into the sea, had just graduated from university that day. The two had arranged to go out to sea to relax, but unexpectedly, Xiao Fu accidentally fell into the sea and is now missing… Currently, the police have intervened and are continuing the investigation.
When writing the article, the reporter had specifically included several photos of a ship at sea.
Chi Yu recognized at a glance—this was the very ferry she and Chen Jiazhi had boarded on the day of the incident!
In this article, Xiao Mei referred to Chen Jiazhi, while Xiao Fu, who fell into the sea, was her!
Seeing the content mention that the location where she fell into the sea was a surveillance blind spot, Chi Yu wasn’t surprised at all.
Since Chen Jiazhi had planned this in advance, she must have scouted the location beforehand.
Upon reading that she had been classified as missing and that the search team had spent over ten hours without recovering her body, Chi Yu had already anticipated this outcome.
The body she had transformed into last night was her own original body, which was why the search team couldn’t find it.
Chi Yu both hoped the police would soon uncover that Chen Jiazhi was the culprit who caused her to fall into the sea, and dreaded the possibility that she might truly be dead.
The thought of Chen Jiazhi living freely under the sun after harming her, while she herself had to hide in a stranger’s phone like a little mouse in the gutter, left Chi Yu feeling utterly dejected.
She carefully cleared all the browsing history she had just created and quietly exited the browser.
